Chapter 767: Countless Treasures…
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Flying at a high speed, Hao Ren arrived at the territory of Kunlun Mountain in a short while. Meanwhile, Xie Yujia chased after him on the Ruyi Cloth, afraid that he would offend the Soul Formation Realm cultivators in Kunlun Mountain.
The Ruyi Cloth that looked like a cloud was a rare dharma treasure. Although it could only carry one person, it was fast and light and didn’t consume a lot of nature essence, making it a perfect dharma treasure for a low-level cultivator like Xie Yujia.
It was already dark when Hao Ren came out of the hospital. When he reached the edge of Kunlun Mountain, he saw that the sun was setting behind the black mountains.
“Who is it?”
Dozens of white-clothed female cultivators flew out from Kunlun mountain. When they saw Hao Ren, they shot light beams at him without asking any more questions.
In their minds, this black-haired man who used five-elemental sword energies had broken into Kunlun Mountain several times, and the patrolling cultivators knew him well.
When they saw him again, they attacked him together, not caring to ask why he came.
Seeing their attacks, Hao Ren knew that he had become their enemy in the past half year while he broke into the territory of Kunlun Mountain on his way to the Dragon God Shrine and even accidentally injured some of them when he was in a hurry to get away.
It seemed that all the female cultivators here held a grudge against him.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Powerful treasure wheels condensed by lights hacked toward Hao Ren.
Just as Hao Ren was about to block these five-colored treasure wheels which were similar to array formations, he heard whistling noises in the air.
About a dozen energy arrows swept past Hao Ren and hit the spinning treasure wheels, shattering them instantly.
Stepping on a cloud, Xie Yujia pulled the bow and shot out the arrows while the thumb ring on her finger shone in the dusk.
Seeing the female cultivators trying to organize a counterattack, Xie Yujia shot dozens of energy arrows from the demonic bow, knocking away the swords beneath the female cultivators.
She had excellent aim!
Hao Ren looked back at Xie Yujia in surprise.
The dozen female cultivators froze for a moment and then felt that their feet hurt a little. Seeing their swords getting knocked away, they fell into the valley.
Then, the other female cultivators immediately flew down to catch them.
“You keep fighting with them… The relationship between you guys is already getting intense!” Xie Yujia stomped her feet on the Ruyi Cloth and sped up to Hao Ren’s side.
While pulling him into Kunlun Mountain, she said to Hao Ren with some jealousy.
Despite their hostility toward Hao Ren, the female cultivators were all gorgeous girls.
Xie Yujia was afraid that Hao Ren would get intimate with them due to the constant fights.
“That’s nonsense…” Hao Ren shook his head helplessly. In fact, he was grateful that Xie Yujia fought off the female cultivators for him so that he wouldn’t have to deal with those girls.
“Let’s go in!” Seeing more cultivators flying over to them on swords from a distance, Hao Ren took Xie Yujia’s slim hand and dashed into the internal region of Kunlun Mountain like a flash of light.
The interior of Kunlun Mountain looked like an immortal realm with birds singing and the fragrance of flowers permeating the air. Structures with unique shapes were built along the mountainside and by the rivers, looking like pearls in seclusion. It was a soothing sight.
Hum!
When Hao Ren and Xie Yujia were about to land in the valley, they suddenly stumbled onto an invisible barrier.
“Villain! You’ll die for trespassing on the territory of Kunlun Mountain!”
Countless white-clothed female cultivators chased after them, trying to surround Hao Ren and Xie Yujia angrily.
Hao Ren looked at them in exasperation since he felt like many Duan Yao were shouting at him at the same time.
To Xie Yujia, Hao Ren was the best guy in the world. However, to these female cultivators in Kunlun Mountain, he was the evilest villain.
When these female cultivators dashed toward them with slashing swords, Hao Ren took out the Penglai Immortal Token and placed it on the invisible barrier.
Ding! The barrier suddenly opened, and Hao Ren dashed in with Xie Yujia.
“Villain!”
The female cultivators rushed over, but Hao Ren and Xie Yujia had entered the barrier to their surprise.
It looked like they were separated from Hao Ren and Xie Yujia by a glass wall; they could see each other but couldn’t touch each other.
The female cultivators glared at Hao Ren in a fury but couldn’t pass the barrier. On the other side of the barrier was the core region of Kunlun Mountain and the legendary place where the Queen Mother of the West had cultivated and lived in ancient times. Only the grand Soul Formation Realm cultivators could enter this place.
A beam of devil essence had flown across the high sky at noon today, and all the Soul Formation Realm cultivators in Kunlun Mountain had gone out to investigate it.
When Hao Ren arrived, there was no Soul Formation Realm cultivator in here at the moment.
They wondered what secret method that Hao Ren had used to get through the barrier and enter the core region of Kunlun Mountain.
Hao Ren knew that he could get into the core region of Kunlun Mountain because of the Penglai Immortal Token. After all, Zhen Yuan Zi was the leader of all Earthly Immortals and enjoyed the same status as the Queen Mother of the West.
After changing into a devil dragon, Taiyi Cave Master almost turned the East Ocean Dragon Palace upside-down, but it still wasn’t enough to disturb Zhen Yuan Zi who was tending to his flowers and plants in the Demon Sea. This was only a small change in the world, and he knew that the Soul Formation Realm cultivators who were staying on land would track it down.
The Penglai Immortal Token that Hao Ren held was the token that the King Father of the East, who had the same status as the Queen Mother of the West, had left in Penglai Island. When Hao Ren came into Kunlun Mountain with this token, he was like an envoy from the King Father of the East, and the array formation didn’t see a reason to stop him.
However, Hao Ren hadn’t thought that his mission would be so easy since no Soul Formation Realm cultivator was in Kunlun Mountain right now. After waving his hand at the fuming female cultivators, he flew to the center of Kunlun Mountain with Xie Yujia.
According to the legends, Kunlun Mountain was the sacred cultivation place of the Queen Mother of the West, and it was a mysterious place to ordinary cultivators. All kinds of rare plants grew on the cliffs, in the crevices in the rocks, and by the creeks.
In the center of the valley were several ancient palaces with mysterious presences, and they were made with gold and jade and looked brand-new despite their great age.
In a pond before a huge palace grew countless 10,000-year snow lotuses!
Although there was no spirit beasts and cultivators in the palaces, yards, and even the colorful sky bridges connecting the palaces, Hao Ren could imagine the magnificent sight of Kunlun Mountain when many fairies cultivated under the guidance of the Queen Mother of the West in the ancient times.
“Where is the Ageless Godly Spring?” Xie Yujia followed Hao Ren closely and asked.
Everything was quiet in the core region of Kunlun Mountain.
These quiet palaces seem to be telling them the stories of Kunlun Mountain during the Mythical Age. Even without any fluctuations of array formations, they emitted such power and authority that Xie Yujia moved carefully and didn’t dare to speak in a loud voice.
This was the place that the Queen Mother of the West had once lived, and the ordinary cultivators couldn’t enter this sacred location.
In this sacred place, there must be some hidden treasures that the Queen Mother of the West had left behind when she flew to the Heavenly Realm. The Soul Formation cultivators had taken turns guarding the Kunlun Mountain to prevent the peace of the mountain from being disturbed by the reckless cultivators who came here trying to find the ancient treasures.
“We must search for it.” Hao Ren grabbed Xie Yujia’s wrist and pulled her to his side.
Since no Soul Formation Realm cultivators were in the Kunlun Mountain right now, and Hao Ren had the Penglai Immortal Token which allowed him to enter the core region, it was a perfect time for them to search for the treasures or dig out spiritual herbs. However, Hao Ren wasn’t in the mood for such stuff. After releasing the golden shield from his necklace, he instructed, “Go and find the godly spring!”
Hum… The golden shield released layers of golden light, sensing the spirit essence fluctuations in Kunlun Mountain.
When Taiyi Cave Master changed into a black devil dragon, the golden shield had sensed that the danger was too great for it. Due to the Supreme Spiritual Treasure’s self-preservation instinct, it had hidden inside Hao Ren’s necklace.
Now that they were in Kunlun Mountain, it detected no danger around them. Relaxed, it released its golden lights and began to search for the treasures.
Hum… Hum… Golden waves spread out from the golden shield into each corner of Kunlun Mountain.
Looking at Hao Ren and then at the golden shield anxiously, Xie Yujia was a little confused since she didn’t know that the golden shield had the power to detect the treasures in the area around it.
Suddenly, the golden shield moved, and Hao Ren followed it immediately while pulling Xie Yujia with him.
A huge black cauldron was sniffed out by the golden shield from the foot of the mountain. The golden shield flew two circles around it and flashed two golden lights as if it were asking Hao Ren a question.
Hao Ren shook his head, and the golden shield immediately shot out a blinding golden light which shrank the huge black cauldron into the size of a thumb before absorbing it into the heart of the shield.
There were indeed a lot of treasures in Kunlun Mountain! Since Hao Ren didn’t want them, the golden shield would take them!
After the Heavenly Tribulation, it was now a Nature Celestial Treasure, and these treasures in Kunlun Mountain that weren’t taken by the Queen Mother of the West had all been Supreme Spiritual Treasure despite their dilapidated looks!
If the golden shield absorbed more treasures, its strength would elevate to a higher realm!
A white jade Ruyi, a pink jade hairpin, a golden treasure gourd, a heavy stone lion… The treasures that had weak spiritual properties or had lost their spiritual properties were dug out by the golden shield one by one.
The golden shield sucked them into its body to absorb happily. If these treasures were found by the cultivators on and above Fifth Heaven, the cultivators would spend a lot of time and energy to repair and study them. However, the golden shield just swallowed them into its body.
Anyway, Hao Ren cultivated the Light Splitting Sword Shadow and didn’t rely on dharma treasures too much, and Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia had their own dharma treasures already. Besides, Hao Ren knew that quality always triumphed quantity.
Just as the Lu sisters had said, one must pick the best dharma treasures! That was why Hao Ren didn’t care about these random treasures which had been buried in the ground for ages.
As long as the golden shield was obedient to him, the more powerful it got, the more useful it would be to Hao Ren.
A sense of admiration rose in Xie Yujia when she saw Hao Ren’s indifference to the treasures found by the golden shield.
Not everyone could appear unmoved in front of treasures.
A junior cultivator would feel incredibly excited and lucky when getting a treasure or a technique. However, when the cultivators reached a certain realm, they would know what they truly needed.
If one wanted to get all the treasures and techniques in the world, they would seem to have more, but they would lose more in the process.
Xie Yujia suddenly found that the appealing thing about Hao Ren was not his identity as her ‘Little Older Brother’, but his indifference to fame and fortune and persistence.
Despite his indifference to a lot of things, he knew what he wanted.
Xie Yujia liked guys with these qualities.
